Direct ancestor Johann Daniel Koerth served in Company E, 13th Wisconsin Infantry. I am finding Shields cousins involved in Confederate military in Texas. I would like to learn more about Texas CSA regiments.[edit]

My great great grandfather Leander M. Comins served in the Civil War as part of the District of Columbia Cavalry and the 1st Maine Cavalry. He died on April 14, 1865 as as a result of wounds received at the skirmish at Dinwiddie Courthouse on March 30, 1865.[edit]

Most of my father's side, if they were in the Civil War, fought for the CSA, and most of my mother's side for the Union.

One of my great great uncles, Lewis Tune Nunnelee kept a diary, which gives a feel for what the soldiers went through, but also contributed to tracing family members. I'm currently working through another Civil War diary by Charles Minor Blackford, who was in the same unit, 2nd Cavalry of Virginia, as a couple of my distant cousins.

My maternal great grandfather, Daniel Augustus GEIGER, was a member of the 128th Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment and also the 1st Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment. His brother, Franklin Geiger was a member of the 151st Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment and was KIA on July 1, 1863 at Gettysburg.[edit]

I have many participating family members, and as the geographical area of focus for me is Virginia, I manage hundreds of profiles of Civil War soldiers that I would like to recognize and highlight![edit]

I have many ancestors that fought on both sides. I am particularly interested in my Great-great GrandfatherWilliam James Holland of Alexandria, VA who enlisted in Va Reg't 17th Infantry Co. H and his record says transferred to MD line in 1862. I am not sure what happened to him after that and during the war until 1880. I think he may have either been a POW or deserter I am hoping to learn the truth.[edit]

I have many ancestors who fought and (some who died) in the Civil War. Most of my family (paternal side) comes from the south (TN, AL, AR, VA and OK) and the Civil War even divided some of my family.[edit]

I have found that I have at least six ancestors who served in the Civil War. Two of them died while serving. My great grand uncle, Jacob R Battin, was killed in action at The Battle of Shiloh, Pittsburg Landing, TN. He is Buried at the battlefield. His brother John Battin died of Measles while serving at Nashville, TN and is buried there. Their brother Samuel Battin survived eight months as a POW in Tyler, TX, but died ten years later from complications of diseases incurred while serving.[edit]

My 2nd Great Grandfather fought with the PA 149th Inf. He died in one of the two battles that took place at or near Spotsylvania Court House. I live (literally) just a few miles from Yorktown, VA and a recently (2003?) discovered redoubt in Newport News Park, Newport News, VA. I am disabled, but am willing to go out and look for whatever maybe available locally.[edit]

My family has served on the Southern and Union sides of the war, some of us currently live in the south and some in the north although we are no longer divided in our desire for universal freedom.[edit]

My great grandfather on my dad's side and my third great grandfather on my mother's side served in the Confederate military during the war. My great grandfather, Julius Honesta Stevens served in Company I of the 17th Mississippi Infantry and was captured in April 1865 and sent to Point Lookout.[edit]

“Then call us rebels, if you will, we glory in the name; for bending under unjust laws, and swearing faith to an unjust cause, we count as greater shame.” I am a proud descendant of several Confederate soldiers, "May their sacrifices never be forgotten and their cause be understood by all. They did not agree with the Federal Government's interference with State Government Law"[edit]
